What Causes Pressure In The Left Side Of The Chest?
For the last six months I have been feeling some pressure in the left side of my chest along with numbness. The pressure is right under the bottom of my rib cage. Any idea what this could be? I ve summed it up as issues related to my lower back problems but I m worried that it could be my heart.
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, this can be related your heart. Left sided chest pressure with numbness is commonly seen in cardiac diseases. So better to first get done 1. Ecg 2. 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry for cardiac diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. Don't worry, you will be alright. First rule out cardiac cause. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
